'BRIAN WILSON OF HIS GENERATION,' JAY BENNETT MOURNED

URBANA – Neil Young once sang that, for rock musicians, it's "better to burn out, than it is to rust." He might have been speaking of Jay Bennett.

At 45, Mr. Bennett had already played with and been fired from a nationally famous band, Wilco. He also played in local bands like Steve Pride & His Blood Kin and Titanic Love Affair.

RAMONES: ACID EATERS

You can knock the Ramones for a number of things (lying about being brothers, letting Dee Dee quit, inspiring Rancid), but what you can’t deny punk rock’s most revered foursome is their ability to execute excellent covers.

MUSIC OF CALIFORNIA AS DIVERSE AS ITS LANDSCAPE

California has played a prominent role in modern music, producing a long, rich and diverse history of artists over the decades. Rather than just following trends, musicians out of the Golden State have often been on the cutting edge, creating new sounds for others to follow.

BEN FOLDS PRESENTS: UNIVERSITY A CAPPELLA!

In 1909, at a bar in New Haven, Connecticut, collegiate a cappella was born.

It was a seminal moment, to be sure. The Yale Whiffenpoofs (and their first alcohol-infused chords) kick-started a movement that over the next 100 years would come to include more than 1,200 undergraduate a cappella groups on campuses across the nation.

Do not underestimate the genre. These vocal bands tour the country.

BRIAN WILSON ON THE BEACH BOYS' CAR SONGS

MOONMUSIC - A BEACH BOYS MIXTAPE

Oh man have I been on a Beach Boys kick lately.
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks rushing to finish a paper on Brian Wilson for my psychology class and the only suitable soundtrack I could find was his brilliant music.

Every time I go on one of these binges I fall deeper and deeper in love with the music of the Beach Boys and their story. Since it seems to be futile to try and post Beach Boys albums (links get pulled down pretty quickly) I’ve carefully put together a mix of some of my favorite songs of theirs. Help yourself:

OH YOU'RE SO SILENT JONATHAN RICHMAN

Jonathan Richman isn’t known to talk about his music or his personal life in interviews. In fact, he’s a notoriously hard man to get an interview with.
He’s one of my musical heroes, so if all I can score from him is 20 minutes of looking into each other’s eyes, I’m doing it.

I get Richman’s phone number from a publicist at the San Francisco International Film Festival since they’re presenting a silent film from 1921 entitled The Phantom Carriage, and Richman is booked to accompany the film with a live score

PARROTS JOIN HUMANS ON THE DANCE FLOOR

Two famous parrots and a bevy of YouTube videos have now convinced scientists that people aren't the only ones who can groove to a musical beat.

Dancing has long been thought to be uniquely human. Toddlers will spontaneously bob along with music, but you never see dogs or cats listen to a tune and tap their tails in time.

THE PERFECT PRESCRIPTION

A musician explores the role music has played in treating his mental illness

I was about 14 when I first went crazy. Sitting in the bedroom of my parents' G.I. Bill house, a bolt of noxious energy exploded around me and the air turned grainy, like reality was suddenly an ugly, 16-mm film.
